It is the first time I ever suggest this, but it is worth a try:

Try opening TTDX Configurator.exe. If it works, load TTD .cfg file and make sure the last option bottom right, "use Windows 2000/xp Compatibility settings" is checked.

If it still don't work, or it is already checked... Try selecting the option right above, "rebuild ttdpatch.ovl on every run".

It seems like setup.bat also try to enter something in the registery. You could also try that.

Edit: also, make sure you don't have an anti-spyware or any kind of spyware which prevent other programs to write in the registory. Norton Antivirus could possibly fall in that category too, depending of your version... If you use it.

i'm having a problem saving the game i was wondering if anyone else was?

[_r.u.s.s.]

make sure the files your transport tycoon are not set to "read only"

also, when in vista and not administrator you need to place the game in your local user directory

where is the "DPLAY.dll" file?

If I remember right you have to download it (just google) and put it in the game directory to make the game work (some stupid Vista issue).

EDIT:
Now I remember how I got it working (did some backtracking on the thread). I copied a file called "DPLAYX.dll" from system32 directory to the game directory and renamed it "DPLAY.dll".

@ zirkoni,

u r the hero of the day, your hint worked perfectly. Someone should add this into the Readme.txt of the game DL...

G'day Guy's,

Just a quick question, have the game all up and running but it is only displaying in a small box..... How do I get it to display full screen???

I am running XP...

Thanks in advance,
Brett

[zirkoni]

Run "TTconfig.exe", click the "display" sheet and choose full screen mode.
Then click "apply", close the configurator and start the game.

Thanks Zirkoni,

Have tried all three of the full screen options in there and also the "In window" ones and they all display in a box?? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Brett
